I thought Rob was used to the weather but is moaning like a bitch about the tough nature of the league
That might be the case if players like Ireland hadn't improved out of all recognition. Hughes is trying to raise the bar but some players haven't responded. Garrido is clearly getting a better player. Zabaleta's performances have been first rate once he'd settled in. SWP is giving everything he's got. Sturridge has looked much better this season. I suspect Petrov & Bojinov will walk into Hughes's first choice team. However some players haven't raised their game (mainly Dunne, Richards, Vassell, Benjani, Jo and Elano) and clearly want to stay in the comfort zone set by Sven's laid back approach. We used to see players run out of steam by 70 minutes but we don't see that now. He can only instill a more professional approach in players that themselves want to improve.
come on i cant let this go robhino said today how he can't believe the crowd, how we cheer a corner like a goal we've always had ace fans ,the shit we've put up with years of backbiting years of the 5th collumn,muen,its as though some people thrive on things going wrong stick together they all want us to fail .even if we do lets do it together hughes is not that bad he hasn't the charisma of jose but not many have ,hes 100% committed and the modern day footballer expects that maybe doesn't like it but expects it. theres gotta be a boss at any work place footballs no different .they've had little vocal support and i understand that i never wanted him and swore never to utter his name in song .but maybe showing everyone at the club we support hughes can let everybody know there little power struggles wont be tolerated .total change is required ,you need somebody with total belief in what they're doing ,its time to pull together
No, its time to judge someone by the standards that everyone else is. ie: the job they are doing. Not like someone has put above where they praise him for getting the best out of Ireland and Zab but then go on to say its the fault of all the players that the rest of them are well below par. Giving him prise for the minimal good stuff and saying the bad stuff isn't his fault. The manager is repsonsible for everything at the club. If maybe one player isn't happy or putting it in then, yeah, it could be a player issue. If loads of them are below par, with one or two bright spots then it is down to the manager not having addressed that. Like Kinnear did, like Sbragia is and like Redknapp did. Let's judge him on the job he is doing in the whole. Not only on the very few positives or just on some warped, cliched idea of a 'hardman' being the sure for all ills (especially as his approach has taken us backwards so far, when that seemed almost impossible)
Haha what a load of tripe. The only thing I can definitely agree with in all that is that we're in the last 32 of the UEFA Cup. The rest of it is just utter bullshit and fails to mention the many things that are still wrong within the club at the moment.
first time ive been able to come on here since watching that load of shit saturday and it till pissis me off, lose this week and hughes should just FOOK RIGHT OFF
Not even all the money in the world has cheered me up this week, still fucked off about this weekend. One thing i hate is the typical City tag and its more evident than ever, spent a fortune and got some top players and we are getting worse,typical... The only thing in recent games i have had to cheer about is a fucking ball boy and it's not good enough, got to be looking at a couple of wins from our next few games or hes got to go, you don't ask a bus driver to ride for your F1 team.
Spot on. All these people who go on about 'typical city' and the 'I've put up with it for 40 years so will carry on doing so' brigade are not seeing what's in front of their eyes.
